Two-Face is said to be in the movie but like everyone else has said only as a setup for the 3rd movie. I have no problem at all with the rumoured rutime. The last movie was long but i had no problems with it (even at 2am start time) Nolan has actually been asked to remove a few scenes of the movie with The Joker in it because of the way we see him and to what happened to Heath. The scene in question has tested bad with early preview audience
Spoiler (Highlight or Triple Click to Read):| Joker sitting up and unzipping himself from a body bag. Said to be the scene in the trailer when he says his famous line "Why so serious?" |
Nolan said he will not cut it from the movie.
Also i don't understand your problem Monty with too many characters. The first movie again had just as many as this one is said to have. They are giving them a longer length to spread out over and you worry about them being crammed in there?
Forget Spiderman 3 were Raimi was forced to put in Venom for the film. Nolan seems to have more creative control here and you just need to look at his track record to know you can trust him.
